Given the example file matcreat.cpp on linux with GCC and Matlab installed correctly. I can link with
The resulting executable will work as intended. However, how do I know that I chose the correct libraries? If I remove all but -lmat I will receive "undefined reference to symbol 'mxCreateDoubleMatrix@@v7.3'. This appears to be something in the mxArray set of functions so I added -lmx and all the errors are resolved. The code compiles correctly and the output is as expected. I assume from this that -lmex -lm are extra and not needed, or found by the linker per normal processing. If I compile this same code with no libraries I get the following.

My question is what is the documentation or reference to tell me that I need to link against -lmat and -lmx for my code? And by extension which libraries to use for other features like the engine.
